Can I convince myself of the effectivness?yes:
Insert lea®contraceptivum. Than pull the loop, as if one removes a tampon.
If lea®contraceptivum can be pulled out in such a way,
the necessary sucction did not build up.
Start over again and insert lea®contraceptivum.
Pay attention to the ammount of spermicidal jelly used.
Correct is a haselnut-equivalent given in the lower third to the edge to the valve.
In no case smear close the exit to the valve.
This would obstruct the air flow, which is necessary to build the sucction that keeps
lea®contraceptivum in place over the cervix.

How do I remove lea®contraceptivum?
For contraceptive effectiveness lea®contraceptivum should be left in place at least eight hours after the last occurrence of sexual intercourse.
To remove, grasp the control loop and gently twist it to break the suction.
Or simply tuck the finger slowly under the edge.
If the suction is broken, you can pull you out easily.
- back to list of questions-

When the air trapped between the cervix and lea®contraceptivum has been vented out of the one-way valve,
it has created a tight fit (sucction seal): And as it is a one-way-valve, fluids can go from cervix to vagina but not sperm from vagina to cervix.

The selected material (silicone) and the length of the valve leave only a small chance of survival to the sperm.

Will my partner feel lea®contraceptivum?
lea®contraceptivum will not interrupt spontaneity or reduce sexual pleasure to either partner.
The male partner may, on a rare occasion, have a sense of awareness, and in rare cases, may object to its use.
This happens sometimes at the beginning of usage or only with certain positions.
Perhaps this hint works for you: Do not to show your partner lea®contraceptivum before the first use at all.
Men often cannot imagine that there is still enough place for them.

How often should I replace lea®contraceptivum?

Due to discoloration, we suggest the device be replaced once a year.
or earlier if it shows any signs of wear or deterioration.
